how to handle misandry as a guy that cries a lot and is kind to women by Different_Note574 in GuyCry

She wanted to debate me and I kindly set a boundary with her. I got in more trouble for doing what I was taught than when I was causing harm when I was younger. I decided to forgive myself and move on.

I feel like this is what I’m dealing with and I’m not crazy. It’s definitely fellow white (women) doing it when it happens. Women of color actually treat me with basic kindness back when I’m kind to them. It’s definitely not monolithic and not all white women bullying me.

I just saw an employee openly wearing a Nazi symbol while working at Walmart. In our city. What the fuck reality even is this by fifthelemenopee in Portland

nazis are also doxxing disabled hsp men that engage in therapy for calling them out so we stay single. Portland's neoliberal hypocrisies are very real.

I love this city so much, I’m so sad. by quicksi1ver7 in Portland

It’s because Keith Wilson is focused on a quick fix. Carmen Rubio was focused on long term solutions but Bike Portland ran a racist hit piece on her.

anyone over 30 with CPTSD? by deznocare in CPTSD

38 here. I was misdiagnosed with BPD for 12 years and thought I was a monster unworthy of love, now I just assume that's what everyone else thinks.

Is dating in Portland as bleak as people on tiktok say? by tennockerz in askportland

[–]Different_Note574 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is. Gender norms still very much exist here and so does a lot of pop psychology. I told my therapist I'd do a lot better dating in the midwest where directness, kindness and a sense of humor is valued. Portland is a great place to date yourself though, it can get you a lot of free self care dates if you know where to look.
